 Assembly
Head and Body:
1. Close the hole in the back of the head.
2. Sew the head onto the body.
Tip! If you pin the head onto the neck, your head will stay in place and make it easier to sew it on.

Arms:
1. Pin the arms into place.
2. Sew the arms onto the body.
Tip! Closing the seam by crocheting over the opening will make
sewing it to the body easier.
Also the arms and ears will lay nicely flat, instead of sticking out.
